Chiropractic Care for Heartburn and Acid Reflux in Tustin, CA

Do you have heartburn or acid reflux Tustin, CA? The terms heartburn and acid reflux are commonly used interchangeably, but heartburn is technically a symptom of acid reflux. Heartburn is a burning sensation that can move from your stomach to your chest and up to your throat. Other symptoms of acid reflux are regurgitation and dyspepsia. These symptoms most often occur after eating a heavy meal, while bending over, or when lying down, especially on your back. Acid Reflux is also known as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Acid Reflux Facts in Tustin

  • More than 60 million Americans experience acid reflux at least once a month.
  • More than half of all pregnant women experience heartburn during pregnancy.
  • Acid reflux ruins sleep and can even lead to developing sleep apnea.
  • Acid reflux can often coexist with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
  • Acid reflux increases risk of esophageal cancer.

Causes of Acid Reflux

There are many things that can cause acid reflux. Stomach abnormalities, pregnancy, smoking, and being overweight are just a few of the different causes. Certain foods or drinks can make the symptoms of acid reflux worse.

A major cause of acid reflux that we see in our clinic has to do with the alignment of your spine. When your spine is misaligned where the sensitive nerves go to the stomach and esophagus, it can cause the symptoms of acid reflux. We have many cases of success when adjusting patients with acid reflux.

What Patients Say About Nervo Chiropractic
I highly recommend coming here if you have any body pain. After 15 years of shoulder pain, Dr. Mike has taken away the pain with just a few visits. I'm ecstatic!
Todd M.
First time seeing a chiropractor and came here since it was close to home. I had been dealing with some recent back and foot pain. I honeslty couldn't have asked for a better first visit and hope to see Dr. Mike more often.
Oscar R.
I was in my 20s walking with a cane due to an old injury. I was referred to Dr. Mike by a dear friend who brought me in for my first visit and I am so happy that it's been years since I've used that cane. If I could put more stars, I would! I've had the pleasure of having Dr. Mike work on my back for a few years now and if I could make it over weekly, I would! Thanks to you all for making a pleasant visit.

I felt better almost immediately and now about 18 months in his care I am feeling pretty darn fantastic. I have been to other chiropractors and wow the Gonstead method is SO MUCH more of a body friendly, unique to YOU, approach. I will never use a non-Gonstead chiropractor again.
Lorah N.
I had a very sharp, horrible back pain. It was to the point that it was really hard to move or walk. I went to the doctors, but they couldn't do anything about it. It was December 31st and I didn't want to spend New Year's Eve not being able to move. I came to Dr. Mike and he was amazing. The chiropractor aligned my back and I was able to walk and move. It was truly amazing. I'm very thankful that I went here and I totally recommend.
Ligia C.
I've never looked back since Dr. Mike. He is a true healer. It took 2+ years to get back to my normal self but I'm a football player who has sustained so much trauma to my lower back and neck area. I'm a body builder so that didn't help either. It's 2022 and wow I feel much better. My digestive system has improved, my mental state has improved, and my all around being has improved. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. MIKE.
